Hollywood Domination Chapter 465: Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy

As always, after the big and small awards throughout December, when the time enters January 2012, the awards season will also usher in its climax. In January and February, Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Directors Guild Awards, and of course the most eye-catching Oscars, these are the focus of all the crew's struggles in each PR season, one boring commercial reception after another, carefully planned The hype marketing is like a two-month marathon. Even if you are a novice, after running for two months, you can quickly integrate with the circle. After all, you see the same group of people wherever you go , After two months, we have become familiar faces to each other. In a sense, we even know each other better than colleagues and family members—after all, the person who knows you best is often your enemy. This old saying is true.

On the night of January 15th, the entrance of the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills was of course very lively. Fans, photographers, journalists, and the ubiquitous radio microphone cameras...combined the most watched ratings this year One of the grand ceremonies, and when many actresses and actors are well-dressed and show their demeanor in front of the camera, their behind-the-scenes team is like the "sunspot" in Japanese culture, although they are also busy in front of the camera, but But it's hard to attract a little bit of attention, it can be said that it is full of stealth skills.

"phew," he finally sent his client Meryl Streep into the venue, and confirmed with the media to ensure that there would be no ugly photos of 'Mr. Selected as today's Worst Dressed Award, Edith Summer, the public relations executive from Weinstein Films, sighed in relief, and slipped into her own seat - this is a row next to the side door The chair, with a bad view, but can slip out the door at any time, is suitable for these PRs, "Finally, I'm done, and I will rest for an hour-then, God help me, let me work for half the night."

"It looks like you have great hopes." Her 'competitor', Rooney Mara's publicist Fiona said, "Tonight should be Meryl's night, I have This feeling."

Although the two parties are now in a competitive relationship, the relationship between Edith and Fiona will of course not be affected. After all, there is no direct conflict of interest between them. way to discredit the opponent. Edith spread her hands, and did not deny Fiona's words, "Indeed, she has won a lot of outpost awards - if there is no Jennifer Jefferson, she may have won more, but - fortunately, Jenny Fred reported to the comedy department, so at least tonight, it's not a problem."

For Rooney Mara, who is still a fresh face, her public relations only need to ensure that she can get enough benefits from this nomination, so, although she has not won any awards so far, but Fiona was not in a hurry either. When she heard Edith say that, she curled her lips and winked at Edith. "Of course, she is your rival, who let her carry the big news? - Look, the smile on Selena Meyer's face - I bet she hasn't stopped since the moment she heard the news Smiled, what a coincidence, it's December - I guess she thinks it's a Christmas present for her."

"h." Edith said, "ah, Judy Ackerman is talking to her, I thought she would stay in San Francisco, but it looks like she's not going to give up this opportunity to speak—this It makes sense. Selena will be disappointed, this time she is not the one who will accept the award on her behalf."

"She still has a chance to be on stage, Salvi, and the director didn't come." Fiona said, and Edith also came interested, "Didn't he come? He's still in San Francisco? Man! I just said There's a good chance they've got something, no? Bet Cesare wouldn't want him to stay—he's got custody anyway, isn't he?"

"I understand, I also hope to be able to witness such a good show." Fiona lowered her voice, "But anyway, Salvi has returned to New Zealand to edit the film - she has woken up anyway After that, I heard that Cesare has obtained full custody, and they are preparing to transfer her back to Los Angeles, so there is no need for our capable Judy to run away."

"So the rumors are true?—I mean, she woke up, but—"

"yep," Fiona said, twirling the side of her head, "it's still a mess, and they say that's why Judy looks so upset—no news out, you know, it's a PR thing This is the worst case scenario."

"Yes, a mad client is worse than a dead client," murmured Edith, "or a living mad client—poor Selena, so Jennifer Bian is bound to adopt a low-key strategy, isn't it? There is nothing that consumes popularity more than a long and repeated illness—just at this juncture, the Oscar is just around the corner—"

"Who said it wasn't?" Fiona was a little gloating—this is basically common sense in the PR world: a tragic bad news, such as a sudden death, will quickly increase the celebrity's status, and he All the projects I have participated in will benefit from this, and if, like Jennifer, she still has works that are competing for awards, then she will have a great advantage in the current session, and there will be endless bad news, such as serious illnesses such as cancer It is a completely different treatment. Although it is cruel to say so, the shelf life of public sympathy is always very short. Once the shock fades, only the instinctive avoidance of **** is left. This is why most cancer survivors Celebrities are quite low-key, and the reason why they are not likely to appear on the page - of course, they may not have more energy to make news, but they don't publish even the draft, that's because of PR's consideration.

Compared to a cancerous vegetative state, the worse situation is the rumored 'brain mess'. This inappropriate way of exiting the stage will greatly reduce the market value of Jennifer Jefferson, and make fans tend to hate her. She avoided mentioning it—they preferred a short-lived and glorious legend to an idol who had lost all dignity and was no longer that soul. Even without market research, this was of course beyond doubt. The team must hide this news for as long as they can, at least until the end of the Oscars, such news will never be released to the public, and Selena has to accept this regrettable fact—"I think she hopes that she will suddenly Die, you know, and I doubt she would have exacerbated that process herself if she could—look at her horny, frenzied expression—"

Both publicists laughed. Seeing Judy Ackerman approaching, they exchanged a tacit look and greeted warmly, "Hey, Judy, long time no see."

"I guess you must be crazy busy lately, aren't you?"

"Who says no?" Judy sat down next to the two of them. "Edith, I think you should be as busy as I am—is Meryl's acceptance speech finished? I think she There is a 90% chance that it will be used."

"Took me all afternoon, but it's ready," Edith said, and she pushed Judy teasingly, "And you, honey, I think you'll be 100% available tonight." A good acceptance speech.”

"Of course it's ready." Judy said, she did not deny Edith's statement, "Of course, this section of the Jennifer News does not have any suspense-tonight's story is still focused on Best Picture and Best Picture. Best Director, isn't it?"

"I don't think we'll even have that suspense now that Journey has gone to the musical comedy department," Fiona interjected, casting a glance at Edith and Judy. The real battlefield, isn't it?"

The two PRs looked at each other for a while, Fiona looked left and right, and couldn't help showing a smile with relish, but Edith and Judy quickly retracted their eyes, Edith picked up the wine glass on the round table, and concealed Takes a sip, and Judy says, "I don't know, there's enough suspense even for tonight, after all, The Artist is silent, and that's always been an obstacle - hard to say what the Golden Globes think about it, Of course, it definitely suits Oscar's appetite."

"That's the truth. If Weinstein hadn't been selected, "The Artist" would not have reached the height it is today." Fiona nodded in approval, but quickly said, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, "Just Like Meryl, is The Iron Lady her best work? Don't think so, but with Weinstein - it's definitely the closest she's come to an Oscar in 10 years. Edith you Really working with a master."

"Well, don't say this around Judy," Edith said with a smile, "after all, her client is a big shot who can make the master suffer——Judy, speaking of this, Jennifer What happened to her body? You know, rumors are spreading everywhere now, and many people say that she—”

As she raised her hand and circled it around her temple, Fiona's smile widened, while Judy's smiled much less.

"You'll know later." She raised her glass and touched her lips, and said briefly, "—ah, the party has begun."

"Ladies and gentlemen," the scene had already darkened, and with the brief opening music, the 69th TV Movie Golden Globe Awards Ceremony officially began.

Different from those awards ceremonies in previous years where the battles were fierce and the powers competed for hegemony, the 2012 awards season lacked strong works—unlike the three films of "Avatar", "The Hurt Locker" and "Slumdog Millionaire" In the year when they competed for the championship, all the entries this year had their own great weaknesses, and of course they were not as good in terms of social influence. Biopics have always been popular subject matter, but the film quality of "The Iron Lady" is really mediocre, only Meryl's performance is worth mentioning. As for "Life Journey", as an art film, the market response It’s surprisingly good—but the premise is that you must admit that it’s a literary film. Salvi showed a lot of new shooting skills in it, and used 3D advantages to highlight the scenery. These are all highlights, but in any case, the film’s The sense of fantasy is still strong, and this is not an element that Oscar favors, including the spirit and imagery he shows. Although it is extremely gorgeous and romantic, it is the same, not Oscar's taste. , a strong public relations operation and the backing of companies like Weinstein, and my willingness to compete for awards is extremely low. I didn’t even come to the Golden Globes. It is said that he will not go to the Oscars. Hopes for the film or director award are not high.

In terms of leading actor, Chris Hanks is a strong contender, but there is still a long way to go before becoming emperor for the second time. Jean Duardin, the leading actor of "The Artist", is not well-known. Rad Pitt has almost no bright spots in "Moneyball". Like his old friend George Clooney, he was forced to be selected by operation. If you don't get it, the whole Best Actor department has a sense of desolation. It feels that whoever wins Best Actor will definitely not be convincing. It is a veritable young year.

As for the heroine, it's basically a two-person game—originally, if nothing happens, Meryl has a great hope of winning her third statuette. In the outpost awards in early December, She had the upper hand, but as soon as the news of Jennifer's injury came out, including the subsequent news reports, she immediately began to take the award season by storm, which made the Oscar choice difficult-if Jennifer died, it must be There is no suspense, so whether Jennifer's condition will worsen during the voting period or even eventually die, or whether she will miss the Oscar because of the rumor letter, is also a major bet on the lottery. But when it comes to tonight's Golden Globe Awards, as the three PRs unanimously agreed just now, on the premise that the Golden Globe Awards has two departments, there is really no suspense about the heroine in tonight's awards ceremony.

"The winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy is—" The presenter Ryan Gosling glanced at the envelope, "My good friend Jennifer Jefferson—"Journey of Life". "

The applause sounded politely, and Ryan applauded and said, "This award will be received by the spokesperson Judy Ackerman. Jennifer was unable to be present due to special reasons. I think we all know what the reason is, and we We all hope she gets better and best wishes to her.”

The applause became louder, but still remained polite, because praying for Jennifer in public has become a fashion in the past half a month. Passion, even for Jennifer's scolding of the paparazzi and Fox News, Chris didn't stand up and applaud, but just clapped his hands solemnly, which made the hearts of many viewers sink in front of the TV-they all believed that Chris must have mastered it Looking at the latest situation of Jennifer, and now that the official has not released further news, his expression has also become a barometer for fans. From the current point of view, it is obvious that Jennifer's condition is not progressing so well.

Among the applause, Judy Ackerman in a suit had already stepped onto the stage, took the trophy from Ryan, the two shook hands slightly, and Judy turned to the microphone, "well... It is an honor to accept this award on behalf of Jennifer, however, due to well-known reasons, I cannot give the acceptance speech on her behalf, because I don’t think she is arrogant enough to prepare this one month in advance.”

There were sporadic laughter at the scene, and most people were a little bit in a dilemma: It seems a little early to make fun of this matter now-the muzzle is still hot.

"Of course, I also prepared a short speech to thank everyone for supporting us in this difficult time, but out of personal preference, I decided to cancel this speech and announce another good one instead. News—a bit rash, please forgive me if I'm inappropriate, but I really can't wait to share it with you today because of the warmth I've felt from everyone in the past few dozen days," Judy continued , she seemed to glance at a certain corner of the venue, but quickly pulled her attention to the front of the camera, showing a smile that was very difficult to describe as 'inappropriate', "Actually, since a week ago, Jennifer There was a brief eye-opening reaction, and she was able to have a brief conversation with the medical staff. Her coma index has been rising steadily, and just half an hour ago, I received a call that made me very happy and excited. Just now, Jennifer really woke up and issued the first order to the medical staff—"

When she was laying the bedding, there were excited discussions in the venue, and when she announced that Jennifer had woken up, the venue was suddenly flooded with applause and cheers, and Chris stood up first, whistling. Crazy applause, the applause faded away after dozens of seconds, and in front of the TV, the screams continued, "ohmygod! She woke up! She woke up, and I knew—I knew she would wake up of!"

"fuck, give me a tissue, this is-- this is true!"

"Thank God I'm speechless - thank God oh my **** don't look at me I know I must be laughing so ugly right now -"

At this time, on the TV, the applause finally gradually stopped, and Judy got a quiet environment again, and the smile on her lips grew bigger and bigger, "And she said—"She is very hungry, she I want a cheeseburger."

"Hahahaha!"

"that's j.j! totally!"

"This is such a classic!"

The venue suddenly became a sea of ​​laughter—the applause rang out again, even louder and louder. Whether it was the directors, actors or celebrities, they didn't care about their personal images at all, and the applause in front of the TV Like the audience, they were rocking with laughter-cheeseburger, this is so classic!

"Cheeseburger—hahahaha, I'd like to give her a hundred if she can eat it."

"j.j is - no, I have to go online and vent! This girl is amazing! OMG! My sky is - I don't know what to say - it's really cleared up!"

"We have to tell the news to foreign netizens, they can't watch the live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards—"

Through countless LCD screens, this scene of laughter entered thousands of households, and it also aroused thousands of reactions, laughing ecstatically, smiling and talking nonchalantly—"What a coincidence, God Ah, this must be the most classic acceptance speech at the Golden Globe Awards'——

At the same time, in a ward that was extremely deserted and quiet compared to the venue, laughter and applause were also adjusting the decibels in the room through the TV. Jenny Jefferson leaned back and adjusted the pillow behind her. She said in a soft voice, "It's still a bit too much, isn't it? Especially Chris, his behavior is indeed unnatural..."

"If you really woke up half an hour ago, indeed," Cesare glanced at the screen, continued to bury his head in browsing the ipad screen, and tapped the screen a few times from time to time, "I think he would directly Rushed to the stage to announce the news, and then ran out of the venue to visit you."

"Do you think he will?" Jenny asked with interest.

"He will." Cesare said affirmatively, and he added, "However, although the time point is wrong, the description of the whole illness is not different, so it cannot be said that Judy's performance Too much - you know, it's really less than 24 hours before you are fully awake, and speaking of it, you shouldn't be watching TV for so long."

He picked up the remote control involuntarily, turned off the TV, and frowned accusingly at Jenny's protesting expression, "Don't look at me like that, Jenny, it looks like you're surprisingly patient-free Self-awareness—this is not like the old you, maybe this is also one of the sequelae—"

"Oh, forget it," Jenny waved her hands unbearably, being careful not to use her head, she said with a frown, "I don't act like a patient because I know I won't be in danger ——I just have such confidence, okay?”

Seeing that Cesare still seemed to have objections, she quickly changed the subject, and begged, "Okay, let's stop watching TV, let's have a chat—stop hanging on to my appetite, please. Sare, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep well, and it will be even more difficult—please—tell me what happened this month, and what’s going on in the world outside—please—”

Under Cesare's annoyed stare, she lavishly abused her patient privileges, sending 'I'm sorry' signals at him, and Cesare finally sighed irritably.

"Fine!" he said, "What do you want to know?"

Jenny couldn't help showing a triumphant smile. She took care not to show the slight dizziness (the smile just now might have affected some muscle), picked up the cheeseburger on the corner of the table, and bit it carefully He took a sip and mumbled, "Tell me everything—for God's sake, you'll never know how hungry I am for new information—I really want to know everything!"
